Bringing Things Back Together
from Word of Life Church Podcast · host Pastor Brian Zahnd
The book of Philemon is a little window into the mind of an Apostle who saw the goodness of the Gospel for the whole world. In the Gospel we see God's desire for reconciliation. Human pride, greed, lust, and violence has had a way of tearing things apart. Jesus, in his reign, is bringing things back together. The reconciliation of Philemon the master and Onesimus the slave demonstrates not only God's work of reconciling the world to himself in Christ, it also demonstrates our call to the ministry of reconciliation.
